Metabolic complications of nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenomas: a mini review
Nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenomas (NFMA) make up 20% of pituitary adenomas. Previous studies have shown that patients treated for NFMA have disturbances in sleep characteristics, circadian movement rhythm, subjective sleep quality, and decreased quality of life. Furthermore, studies have shown that NFMA patients have an increased risk for the metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. Desp...
متن کاملTreatment of clinically nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas with dopamine agonists.
OBJECTIVE Clinically nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA) remains the only pituitary tumor subtype for which no effective medical therapy is available or recommended. We evaluated dopamine agonist (DA) therapy for preventing growth of postsurgical pituitary tumor remnants. DESIGN The study design included historical cohort analysis of clinical results at two pituitary referral centers with...
متن کاملClinical Characteristics and Treatment Outcome of 485 Patients with Nonfunctioning Pituitary Macroadenomas
Background. Nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) are the most common benign lesions of the pituitary gland. Objective. To describe our experience with the management of NFPA. Study Design and Methods. Retrospective evaluation of NFPA patients managed between 2008 and 2013. We analyzed data regarding clinical presentation, imaging diagnosis, hormonal status, surgical, radiotherapeutic, and ...
متن کاملClinically nonfunctioning pituitary tumors are monoclonal in origin.
Clinically nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas are benign neoplasms comprising approximately 25-30% of pituitary tumors. Little is known about the pathogenesis of pituitary neoplasia. Clonal analysis allows one to make the important distinction between a polyclonal proliferation in response to a stimulatory factor versus a monoclonal expansion of a genetically aberrant cell. We investigated the c...
متن کاملArterial spin-labeled perfusion imaging reflects vascular density in nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenomas.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Angiogenesis is very important in clinical features of pituitary adenomas. We investigated the relationship between the blood flow of nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenomas measured by arterial spin-labeled perfusion imaging and the microvessel attenuation of the tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS Conventional MR imaging with contrast-enhanced T1WI and arterial spin-labeled ...
